The Song ' Human ' From Her Head Or Heart Album

To start off, the first stanza in her song represents a sense of how unavoidable change is and how the confusion of the bond combined with the stress of the blame game can lead to a doomed

This is what they call imagery. The singer is saying be yourself do not follow others, be yourself and don’t let your perse stop you. Later on in the song it say,”The ice we skate is getting pretty thin/ The water’s getting warm so you might as well swim/ My worlds on fire. How about yours/ That’s the way I like it and i’ll never get bored.” (Smash Mouth) This entire line of the song describes stress and it will try to stop you from being you, but when he rose up and he made a difference and forgot all about the stress he once had. The first part of the lyric is a simile. The final lyric in the song that is important is,” Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas/ I need to get myself away from this place/ I said yep, what a concept/I could use a little fuel myself/ And we could all use a little change.”( Smash Mouth) What he means by this is people ask him what he did to become this famous and he said,”you have to follow your dreams.” This is an example of a

This song is all about Taylor convincing her crush that she is better for him than his current girlfriend. In this line, Taylor mainly talks about the boy’s current girlfriend and all the qualities that make it sound like she’s wrong for him. In this part of the song she mainly uses pathos to sway the judgement of the boy and more importantly, her fans listening to the song. Pathos is very important when trying to convince people because humans tend to concentrate on the emotional aspect of things. Especially when it comes to music. Using pathos, Taylor is able to stir up negative emotions about the complaining girlfriend right at the beginning of the song. At the last part of the line, she also uses pathos to show the contrast between her

One of the most important lines from the song is, “I can’t change, even if I tired, even if I wanted to”. It is a meaningful

She is given another chance, she knows that she has to remember who she is and how people think of her. She made it through the hard parts of life, and is now seeing the better parts; this makes her feel good about herself. In the second verse, Macklemore sings, “En garde, things are just things/ They don’t make you who you are/ Can't pack up a

This song displays the traditional messages sent by male artists. What about female artists? What do their songs portray? Andsager and Roe’s findings give a good description. According to them, there are two kinds of female artists. The strong, more established female artists portray women as “fully equal.” These women are in their thirties at least, they are more established, and they dress in casual suits. They sang romance, female emancipation, and heartbreak like the rest, but they did not compromise their image in their videos. They use Trisha Yearwood as an example in her song Everybody Knows. The other type, were women who “fell into the lowest level on the consciousness scale.” They used Deana Carter’s song We Danced Anyway as an example. In this song she rolled on the beach in a wet t-shirt. Another one is Faith Hill’s song Breathe. In this song, Hill is seen rolling around in her bed sheets with no clothes on.

When she realizes her imperfections are valuable, she has a whole new outlook on her life, which fills her with hope and motivates her to become a better version of herself. The tone in this song reflects a feeling of being content with one's self-image because she finally wonders "why [should she] waste a second not loving who [she is] (Bedingfield 10)? This realization is what brings her out of her depression, concerning what she looks like, to the decision of embracing her appearance because she is beautiful no matter what society

The reason Torres is performing this song is because she is in a coma and essentially her spirit is singing to herself to make own self wake up from her coma. In the beginning since she is in a coma, it represents death as she is at the end of the symbolic cycle, death. She starts by saying "So many stories of where I've been" which shows she has experience of life and she is at the west side where she is an adult knowing everything. As Torres is singing, she is walking through the hospital as she gets closer to willing herself to wake up. One of the reasons was her girlfriend, Arizona Robbins, who loves her and she has her child Sofia to fight for. Her child, Sofia, represents life and birth as she beings her symbolic cycle. Most of this song is about being experienced as Torres says she has "climbed mountain tops" and "swam all across the ocean blue" and by her saying this, she is motivating herself to wake up and be strong for everyone. Also she talks about how everyone around her is ignorant. "And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed, they don’t know my head is a mess. No they don’t know who I really am". This quote from the song proves her point how no one realizes how much she has been struggling in her life and how she has had that pain of experience and depression from everyone. The song starts the same as "How to Save a Life" with a calm and softer beginning. As

This is an inspirational song for an average teenage girl, but as I pointed out there were some contradictions to the lyrics and the meaning. They may want to see themselves as beautiful in every way possible, but the world is a puzzle and there is a piece that is gone because of what has become socially acceptable.

Beyonce uses pathos, the first of the three appeals in her song by using very descriptive phrases. When she states, “I’d listen to her, `cause I know how it hurts,” Beyonce is telling her audience that she understands what it is like to be hurt, and that if she were a boy, she would treat her women better because she could understand where she was coming from. This tugs at the listener’s heart because you can see that she has been emotionally hurt from a past relationship. Also, many people can relate to what she is disclosing. It is human nature for people to get emotionally damaged in a relationship and therefore her feelings are empathized. She also uses syntax by the way she orders her words by telling a story. If the song was not in story form, it would not produce the great impact that it does.

The context of this song develops a strong social, historical and cultural environment of this song and background of what was going for people to understand and appreciate about what Lady GaGa is trying to inform others about. The social environment of the song is that people keep rejecting and bulling others for their gender or sexuality as well as the historical environment of the song is that people’s colour or religion has been used against them and they have been put into slavery and low positions in the world. Finally the cultural environment of the song is people and colours, marriage and gender. The background of the song is people have rejected people though out time who want to marry the same gender as them and slavery cause by people colour which was what happened to cause Born This Way to be written. This message is still relevant at the moment as people are still being effect by it but people are

This song, however takes a look at how a boy isn’t at fault in a relationship and that it would be easier to be a boy in a relationship. It relates to how in society we always say a woman is more emotional or that boys shouldn’t cry. I think Conley explains this well when he writes “Gender is one set of stories we tell each other and believe into get by in this world. It’s a collectively defined guidebook that humans use to make distinctions among themselves.” (Conley 279). This relates to the lyrics when Beyonce says “If I were a boy, I think I could understand, How it feels to love a girl, I swear I’d be a better man.” It really shows that because we are one gender we somehow believe we could be better at the other gender from the fact that we know how it feels. However boys experience feelings different than girls do and this can also relate to what Conley wrote which is “Gender is a social construction, but it is so deeply rooted and seemingly natural that it is a major structure organizing our everyday lives- our goals, our desires, and even our bodies.” (Conley 279). Conley takes what is being said in this song about being a better man and changes the way you look at it. I believe this because in society in order to be a man you can’t be emotional, but women are too emotional which is a difference between genders in

Mitchell Kimbrough’s “Sky” shows how life will pass one by. People oftentimes fail to make decisions or pursue dreams, but life does not wait for them nor run in reverse. The words and images of the poem, combined with the lyrics of Norah Jones’s “Don’t Know Why,” somberly explore the regret of missed opportunities as time passes.

This song has a lot of emotion behind it. I believe that when Beyoncé sings this song, she is sending off a message to the families of those who lost their lives during 9/11. She is singing from the victim’s point of view saying to remember me for the positive impact I have made in the world and how I strived to make the world a better place. She is singing to tell us that no matter how rich, successful, or famous you may be, always live your life to the fullest because you never know when it
